My chihuahua, Shadow, has a tendency to mark anything I put on the floor...so believe me, I don't put bags of fabric, or groceries, or anything like that down when I come home from shopping. And he chews the corners off of anything from books to boxes. <BR/>I know how time-consuming it is to trace those Ottobre patterns, and I'm glad that you were able to salvage yours!Mom2furhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919967314390699344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-77618327080232838332007-12-10T10:39:00.000-05:002007-12-10T10:39:00.000-05:00Well, I guess Dani got back at you for that nasty ...Well, I guess Dani got back at you for that nasty operation!Laceflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548454249811205992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-231300387926180002007-12-10T09:30:00.000-05:002007-12-10T09:30:00.000-05:00how about sewing up a straight jacket for Dani...g...how about sewing up a straight jacket for Dani...glad you were able to salvage some to re-createAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04127985312219747234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-9046526636163032472007-12-10T08:38:00.000-05:002007-12-10T08:38:00.000-05:00Obviously Dani's fully recovered now.

I believe after our next home improvement project (new flooring downstairs) that I'll be moving the sewing space into the "den/workout room" and leaving the workout equipment to the sharp teeth of dogs - not zippers, patterns, thread spools, or yarn!<BR/><BR/>Glad you were able to hopefully salvage the pattern. You won't know for sure until you make a new one, so I say put everything else off today and get busy making New Ottobre tees!! ggMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03393380099409765165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-1562081416020088632007-12-09T12:06:00.000-05:002007-12-09T12:06:00.000-05:00Ouch, Debbie.

Ha. <BR/><BR/>I've learned not to leave the closet door open that has all the fabric stash because one kitty decided that is a warm snuggly place to sleep and leaves cat hair all over everything. But at least that is all washable so not quite as damaging!<BR/><BR/>You needed another copy of those patterns anyway, right? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
